This disclosure, in general, relates to highly filled thermoplastic composite materials.
In an increasingly technological age, static electricity and electrostatic discharge (ESD) can be costly or dangerous. In particular, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can ignite flammable mixtures and damage electronic components. In addition, static electricity can attract contaminants in clean environments.
Such effects of static electricity and ESD can be costly in electronic device manufacturing. Contaminants attracted by static charge may cause defects in components of electronic devices, leading to poor performance. In addition, ESD can damage components, making a device completely inoperable or reducing device performance or life expectancy. Such losses in performance lead to lower value products, and, in some instances, lost production and a higher rejection rate of parts, resulting in higher unit cost
As electronic devices become increasing complex and component sizes decrease, the electronic devices become more susceptible to ESD. In addition, manufacturing of such devices uses intricate processing tools that may be difficult to form from metal. Metal components exhibit transient currents that may result in electrostatic discharge, for example, when first contacting parts. More recently, manufacturers have turned to ceramic materials for use in manufacturing such electronic devices. While ceramic materials are typically insulative, manufacturers use coatings and additives to provide electrostatic dissipative properties to such ceramic materials.
While ceramic materials tend to have high Young's modulus, high wear resistance, and dimensional stability at high temperatures, ceramic materials may be difficult to form and machine into intricate tools and components useful in electronic devices. Typically, formation of ceramic components includes densification performed at high temperatures, often exceeding 1200° C. Once formed, typical electrostatic dissipative ceramics exhibit high density and increased hardness, in some instances exceeding 11 GPa Vicker's hardness, making it difficult to machine detail into ceramic components.
More recently, manufacturers have turned to polymeric electrostatic dissipative materials. Much like ceramic materials, polymeric materials are generally insulative. As such, polymeric materials are typically coated with an electrostatic dissipative coating or include additives, such as graphite or carbon fiber. While such materials may be easier to form into tooling and electronic components, such polymeric materials typically exhibit poor mechanical properties and poor physical properties relative to ceramic materials. For example, such polymeric materials often exhibit unacceptably low tensile strength and high coefficients of thermal expansion, limiting the applications in which such materials may be useful. Further, such polymeric materials exhibit poor mechanical property retention after exposure to high temperatures. In addition, such polymeric materials often use carbon fibers, carbon black, or graphite. When machined into intricate components having small feature sizes, such materials can have rough surfaces and can form shorts and hot spots, leading to electrostatic discharge.
As such, an improved electrostatic dissipative material would be desirable.
In a particular embodiment, a composite material including a thermoplastic polymer matrix and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier dispersed in the thermoplastic polymer matrix. The composite material has a surface resistivity of about 1.0×104 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq and at least a portion of a surface of the composite material has a surface roughness (Ra) not greater than about 500 nm.

In another exemplary embodiment, a method of forming a composite material includes compounding a polyarylether ketone powder and about 67% by weight of a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier to form a composite material. The composite material includes a matrix of polyarylether ketone having the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier dispersed therein.
In a further exemplary embodiment, a tool useful for electronic device manufacturing includes a device contact component. The device contact component includes a composite material including a thermoplastic polymer matrix and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier dispersed in the thermoplastic polymer matrix. The composite material has a surface resistivity of about 1.0×104 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq and at least a portion of a surface of the composite material has a surface roughness (Ra) not greater than about 500 nm.
The present disclosure may be better understood, and its numerous features and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings.
In a particular embodiment, an article is formed of a composite material having a surface resistivity of about 1.0×104 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq. The composite material includes a polymer matrix and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. In an example, the polymer matrix is formed of a polymer having an ether bond between two monomers of the polymer. For example, the polymer may be a polyether or a polyaryletherketone. The non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may be dispersed in the polymer matrix in an amount of at least about 67 wt %. In a particular example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes an oxide of iron.
In an exemplary embodiment, a composite material includes a polymer matrix and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. For example, the polymer matrix may be formed of a thermoplastic polymer. An exemplary polymer includes polyamide, polyphenylsulfide, polycarbonate, polyether, polyketone, polyaryletherketone, or any combination thereof. In an example, the polymer includes an ether bond in the backbone of the polymer (i.e., two monomers of the polymer are bonded together by an ether group). For example, the polymer may include polyether, polyaryletherketone, or any combination thereof. An exemplary polyaryletherketone may include polyetherketone, polyetheretherketone, polyetheretherketoneketone, or any combination thereof. In a particular example, the polyaryletherketone may include polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
The polymer matrix may be formed of a polymer formed from one or more monomers. For example, the polymer may be formed from at least one dihalide and at least one bisphenolate salt. In an example, the dihalide may include an aromatic dihalide, such as a benzophenone dihalide. The at least one bisphenolate salt may include an alkali bisphenolate.
The resistivity modifier is generally non-carbonaceous. Carbonaceous materials are those materials, excluding polymer, that are formed predominantly of carbon (or organic materials processed to form predominantly carbon), such as graphite, amorphous carbon, diamond, carbon fibers, and fullerenes. Non-carbonaceous materials typically refer to inorganic materials, which are carbon free or, if containing carbon, the carbon is covalently bonded to a cation, such as in the form of a metal carbide material (i.e., carbide ceramic). In an example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes a metal oxide, a metal sulfide, a metal nitride, a metal boride, a metal carbide, a silicide, a doped semiconductor having a desirable resistivity, or any combination thereof. Metal is intended to include metals and semi-metals, including semi-metals of groups 13, 14, 15, and 16 of the periodic table. For example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may be a carbide or an oxide of a metal. In a particular example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier is an oxide of a metal.
A particular non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include NiO, FeO, MnO, Co2O3, Cr2O3, CuO, Cu2O, Fe2O3, Ga2O3, In2O3, GeO2, MnO2, TiO2-x, RuO2, Rh2O3, V2O3, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, WO3SnO2, ZnO, CeO2, TiO2-x, ITO (indium-tin oxide), MgTiO3, CaTiO3, BaTiO3, SrTiO3, LaCrO3, LaFeO3, LaMnO3, YMnO3, MgTiO3F, FeTiO3, SrSnO3, CaSnO3, LiNbO3, Fe3O4, MgFe2O4, MnFe2O4, CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4 ZnFe2O4, Fe2O4, CoFe2O4, FeAl2O4, MnAl2O4, ZnAl2O4, ZnLa2O4, FeAl2O4, MgIn2O4, MnIn2O4, FeCr2O4, NiCr2O4, ZnGa2O4, LaTaO4, NdTaO4, BaFe12O19, 3Y2O3.5Fe2O3, Bi2Ru2O7, B4C, SiC, TiC, Ti(CN), Cr4C, VC, ZrC, TaC, WC, Si3N4, TiN, Ti(ON), ZrN, HfN, TiB2, ZrB2, CaB6, LaB6, NbB2, MoSi2, ZnS, Doped-Si, doped SiGe, III-V, II-VI semiconductors, or a mixture thereof. For example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include an oxide, such as a single oxide of the general formula MO, such as NiO, FeO, MnO, Co2O3, Cr2O3, CuO, Cu2O, Fe2O3, Ga2O3, In2O3, GeO2, MnO2, TiO2-x, RuO2, Rh2O3, V2O3, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, or WO3. In another example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a doped oxide, such as SnO2, ZnO, CeO2, TiO2-x, or ITO (indium-tin oxide). In a further example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a mixed oxide. For example, the mixed oxide may have a perovskite structure, such as MgTiO3, CaTiO3, BaTiO3, SrTiO3, LaCrO3, LaFeO3, LaMnO3, YMnO3, MgTiO3F, FeTiO3, SrSnO3, CaSnO3, or LiNbO3. In an additional example, the mixed oxide may have a spinel structure, such as Fe3O4, MgFe2O4, MnFe2O4, CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4 ZnFe2O4, Fe2O4, CoFe2O4, FeAl2O4, MnAl2O4, ZnAl2O4, ZnLa2O4, FeAl2O4, MgIn2O4, MnIn2O4, FeCr2O4, NiCr2O4, ZnGa2O4, LaTaO4, or NdTaO4. In another example, the mixed oxide may include a magnetoplumbite material, such as BaFe12O19. In a further example, the mixed oxide may have a garnet structure, such as 3Y2O3.5Fe2O3. In an additional example, the mixed may include other oxides, such as Bi2Ru2O7. In another example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a carbide material having the general formula MC, such as B4C, SiC, TiC, Ti(CN), Cr4C, VC, ZrC, TaC, or WC. In a particular example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes SiC. In a further example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a nitride material having the general formula MN, such as Si3N4, TiN, Ti(ON), ZrN, or HfN. In an additional example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a boride, such as TiB2, ZrB2, CaB6, LaB6, NbB2. In another example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier may include a silicide such as MoSi2, a sulfide such as ZnS, or a semiconducting material such as doped-Si, doped SiGe, or III-V, II-VI semiconductors. In a particular example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes an oxide of iron, such as Fe2O3. In another particular example, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes an oxide of copper, such as CuO and Cu2O. In addition, mixtures of these fillers may be used to further tailor the properties of the resulting composite materials, such as resistivity, surface resistance, and mechanical properties. Further electrical properties may be influenced by doping oxides with other oxides or by tailoring the degree of non-stoichiometric oxidation.
In general, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier has a desirable resistivity. In an exemplary embodiment, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier has a resistivity of about 1.0×10−2 ohm-cm to about 1.0×107 ohm-cm, such as about 1.0 ohm-cm to about 1.0×105 ohm-cm. Particular examples, such as iron oxides and copper oxides have resistivities of about 1×102 to about 1×105 ohm-cm.
In general, the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier includes particulate material and as such, is not fiberous. In an example, the particulate material has an average particle size not greater than about 100 microns, such as not greater than about 45 microns or not greater than about 5 microns. For example, the particulate material may have an average particle size not greater than about 1000 nm, such as not greater than about 500 nm or not greater than about 200 nm. In a particular example, the average particle size of the particulate may be at least about 10 nm, such as at least about 50 nm or at least about 100 nm. In a particular example, the average particle size is in a range between about 100 nm and 200 nm.
In a particular embodiment, the particulate material has a low aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is an average ratio of the longest dimension of a particle to the second longest dimension perpendicular to the longest dimension. For example, the particulate material may have an average aspect ratio not greater than about 2.0, such as not greater than about 1.5, or about 1.0. In a particular example, the particulate material is generally spherical.
In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material includes at least about 67 wt % non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. For example, the composite material may include at least about 70 wt % non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier, such as at least about 75 wt % non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. However, too much resistivity modifier may adversely influence physical, electrical, or mechanical properties. As such, the composite material may include not greater than about 95 wt % non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier, such as not greater than about 90 wt % or not greater than about 85 wt % non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier.
In another exemplary embodiment, the composite material may include small amounts of a second filler, such as a metal oxide. In particular, the polymer matrix may include less than about 5.0 wt % of an oxide of boron, phosphorous, antimony or tungsten. Further, the composite material may include a coupling agent, a wetting agent, a surfactant, or any combination thereof. In a particular embodiment, the composite material is free of coupling agents, wetting agents, and surfactants.
The composite material may exhibit desirable surface resistivity and surface resistance. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material exhibits a surface resistivity of about 1.0×104 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq. For example, the composite material may exhibit a surface resistivity of about 1.0×105 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq, such as about 1.0×105 ohm/sq to about 1.0×109 ohm/sq or about 1.0×105 ohm/sq to about 1.0×107 ohm/sq. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material exhibits a surface resistance not greater than about 1.0×1012 ohms, such as not greater than about 1.0×109 ohms, not greater than about 1.0×108 ohms, or not greater than about 5.0×107 ohms. For example, the composite material may exhibit a surface resistance not greater than about 5.0×106 ohms, such as not greater than about 1.0×106 ohms. In a particular embodiment, the surface resistance is not greater than about 9.0×105 ohms.
In addition, the composite material may exhibit a desirable volume resistivity. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material exhibits a volume resistivity not greater than about 1.0×108 ohm-cm, such as not greater than about 5.0×106 ohm-cm. For example, the volume resistivity may be not greater than about 1.0×105 ohm-cm. Typically, the volume resistivity is about 1.0×104 to about 1.0×1011 ohm-cm, such as about 1.0×104 to about 1.0×108 ohm-cm or about 1.0×104 to about 5.0×106 ohm-cm.
Further, the composite material may exhibit a desirable decay time. To measure decay time, a disc shaped sample is placed on a charged plate, voltage is applied to the plate, and an oscilloscope measures the dissipation time. For example, the decay time may be measured using an Ion Systems Charged Plate Monitor Model 210 CPM, a LeCroy 9310Am Dual 400 MHz Oscilloscope, and a Keithley 6517A electrometer. In an exemplary embodiment, the decay time is a measure of the time to dissipate static charge from 100V to 0V, relative to ground. For example, the composite material may exhibit a decay time of not greater than 1.0 seconds, such as not greater than 0.5 seconds, to dissipate static charge from 100V to 0V. In particular, the 100V decay time may be not greater than about 0.01 seconds, such as not greater than about 0.005 seconds, or even, not greater than about 0.0001 seconds. In another embodiment, the decay time is a measure of the time to dissipate static charge from 10V to 0V relative to ground. For example, the composite material may exhibit a decay time of not greater than about 1.0 seconds, such as not greater than about 0.05 seconds, not greater than about 0.01 seconds, or even, not greater than about 0.005 seconds, to dissipate static charge from 10V to 0V, relative to ground.
In particular embodiments, the electrical properties of the composite material may be tunable. For example, a Tunability Parameter is defined as the inverse of the maximum log-normal ratio of volume resistivity VR to resistivity modifier volume fraction (vf) (i.e., abs((log VRi−log VR(i-1))/(vfi−vf(i-1)))−1, wherein i represents a sample within a set of samples ordered by volume fraction). An exemplary embodiment of the composite material may have maximum log-normal ratio of at most about 0.75 and a Tunability Parameter of at least about 1.33. For example, the Tunability Parameter may be at least about 1.5, such as at least about 1.75. In contrast, a typical PEEK composite including a carbon black has a maximum log-normal ratio of 0.99 and a Tunability Parameter of 1.01.
The composite material may also exhibit desirable mechanical properties. For example, the composite material may have a desirable tensile strength relative to the polymer material absent the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material has a Tensile Strength Performance, defined as the ratio of the tensile strength of the composite material to the tensile strength of the constituent polymer absent the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier, of at least about 0.6. For example, the composite material may have a Tensile Strength Performance of at least about 0.7, or, in particular, at least about 0.75. In an embodiment, the composite material may exhibit a tensile strength of at least about 2.0 kN. In an example, the tensile strength of the composite material is at least about 2.5 kN, such as at least about 3.0 kN. In a further example, the peak stress (also referred to as tensile strength) may be at least about 50 MPa, such as at least about 75 MPa, or even at least about 90 MPa. The tensile strength may, for example, be determined using a standard technique, such as ASTM D638.
In another example, the composite material may exhibit a Young's modulus of at least about 5.0 GPa when measured at room temperature (about 25° C.). For example, the Young's modulus of the composite material may be at least about 6.0 GPa, such as at least about 7.5 GPa, at least about 9.0 GPa, or at least about 11.0 GPa. Particular embodiments exhibit a Young's modulus of at least about 25.0 GPa, such as at least about 75.0 GPa. Particular composite material embodiments may exhibit a Young's modulus of at least about 90 GPa, such as at least about 110 GPa, or even at least about 120 GPa.
In a further exemplary embodiment, the composite can be polished to exhibit a low surface roughness. For example, the composite can be polished such that at least a portion of the surface has a surface roughness (Ra) not greater than about 500 nm. In particular, the surface roughness (Ra) can be not greater than about 250 nm, such as not greater than about 100 nm. In a further example, the surface roughness (Rt) may be not greater than about 2.5 micrometers, such as not greater than about 2.0 micrometers. In an additional example, the surface roughness (Rv) may be not greater than about 0.5 micrometers, such as not greater than about 0.4 micrometers, or even, not greater than about 0.25 micrometers. In particular embodiments, the entire surface may have a low surface roughness.
In an additional exemplary embodiment, the composite material may exhibit a desirable coefficient of thermal expansion. For example, the composite material may exhibit a coefficient of thermal expansion not greater than about 50 ppm at 150° C. In particular, the coefficient of thermal expansion may be not greater than about 35 ppm, such as not greater than about 30 ppm at 150° C.
In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material may be formed by compounding a polymer and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. For example, a polymer powder or polymer granules, such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) powder, may be mixed with non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier particulate. In a particular embodiment, the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) powder and at least about 67 wt % of the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier are mixed.
The mixture may be melted and blended to form a composite material. For example, the mixture may be blended at a temperature of at least about 300° C., such as at least about 350° C. or even, at least about 400° C. In a particular example, the mixture is blended and extruded to form an extrudate. The extrudate may be chopped, crushed, granulated, or pelletized.
In an exemplary embodiment, the composite material may be used to form an article. For example, the composite material can be extruded to form the article. In another example, the article can be molded from the composite material. For example, the article may be injection molded, hot compression molded, hot isostatically pressed, cold isostatically pressed, or any combination thereof.
Particular embodiment of the composite material advantageously exhibit desirable electrical properties, surface properties, and mechanical properties. For example, the composite material can exhibit desirable tensile strength and modulus in combination with desirable electrical properties. In addition, the composite material can exhibit desirable surface properties, such a low roughness, despite high loading of resistivity modifier.
In particular, the composite material may be used to form a tool useful for electronic device manufacturing. For example, the tool can include a device contacting component that is at least in part formed of a composite material including a thermoplastic polymer matrix and a non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier. In a particular example, the composite material may have a surface resistivity of about 1.0×104 ohm/sq to about 1.0×1011 ohm/sq and a surface roughness (Ra) not greater than about 500 nm. In particular, the composite material may include at least about 67 wt % of the non-carbonaceous resistivity modifier.
Such a composite material is particularly useful for forming a device contacting component, such as a burn-in socket. In another example, the composite material can be used to form a vacuum chuck. In a further example, the composite material can be used to form tweezers, such as at least a portion of a tip of the tweezers. In a further example, the device contact component can include a pick-and-place device.
Samples are prepared by compounding polyarylether ketone and 80 wt % iron oxide at a temperature of 400° C. The polyarylether ketone is 150-PF available from Victrex Polymer. The iron oxide has an average particle size of 0.3 micrometers. The samples are injection molded into sample shapes in accordance with testing standards.
The composite material exhibits a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than about 30 ppm at a temperature of 150° C. as measured using a Perkin Elmer TMA7 with Thermal Analysis Controller. The coefficient of thermal expansion is determined by heating a sample from room temperature to 250° C. at a rate of 10° C. per minute without load, cooling the sample, and heating the sample from room temperature to 250° C. at a rate of 5° C. per minute with a 50 mN load.
As illustrated in
Further, the polished sample exhibits a surface roughness (Ra) in a range of 90 to 161 nm, having an average of 125 nm. In addition, the surface roughness (Rv) ranges from 0.1557 to 0.4035 microns, having an average surface roughness (Rv) of 0.2796, and the surface roughness (Rt) ranges from 0.4409 to 2.0219 microns, having an average surface roughness (Rt) of 1.231 microns. Surface roughness is measured in accordance with ANSI/ASME B46.1-1985.

In addition, a comparative sample of unfilled PEEK and a comparative sample of 450GL.30 PEEK having 30 wt % glass fiber are tested for tensile strength and Young's Modulus.
